THE THIRD BOOK IN THE GRIPPING BRITISH DETECTIVE SERIES SET IN THE ATMOSPHERIC LAKE DISTRICT

A body is discovered hanging from the rock face high on Shepherd’s Crag.

Detective Inspector Simon Wayland is the only detective in Cumbria with the skills to climb up to the body. When he does, he realises this was no accident.

The man was hauled up there alive. Roped to the rock. And left to die.

The dead man is Chet Brierley: bestselling author, national hero, a mountaineer who conquered the world’s deadliest peaks. He came to the Lake District to launch his memoir. Someone made sure he never got the chance.

Then a second climber is found dead.

The trail leads Wayland far beyond the fells to a doomed expedition in the mountains of South America, where a single night ended in disaster.

For twenty-five years the truth has stayed buried. But someone knows what really happened up there.

And they’ve waited a very long time for revenge.

Perfect for fans of Ann Cleeves, Peter Robinson and LJ Ross.
